Marguerite Murray

A very suggestive beginning, water features abound, the forest concept, and a potentially attractive environment for an office design. Yet Marguerite had not done that one image, a collage of an office-forest, or a themed garden. Her sketches in fact are wonderful, and almost seem completely belittled by her technical drawings, which seem to remove all of the sensuous and richness of the original scheme. Ideas thinned out as quickly or as soon as an internal elevation or a plan is drawn into CAD.

The ideas for an office-garden building are aplenty, the one here is lacking execution of a detailed design. An internal perspective is missing an essential part of her schema has not been represented in the final round. Even a simple but detailed section would suffice to demonstrate the power of this project. Marguerite understood the lack of resolution, and she knows what is required to make this a great project. Many of the features of her project were there, waiting to be detailed and drawn. Her encounter with CAD is worrying, she has to be able to make CAD a tool and not a stumbling block. Her sketches reveal so much more.
